ABSTRACT

ALTHOUGH the work of spreading Christianity seems to make little progress in this land of the Mogor, where Mahometanism and Paganism are so strongly established, nevertheless, through the few Christians dwelling there, our Saviour is often glorified, both by the constancy with which they hold to their faith, and by their earnest devotion, which is seen not only amongst the older Christians at Lahor, but amongst those more recently converted at Agra; for in both these places there are churches, and a goodly number of Christians, whose devotion is being stimulated by every means possible. Moreover, the infidels are often deeply impressed when they see the adornment of our churches, and the vestments which are used at the divine services; for, by these outward demonstrations, our faith gains much credit amongst these people, who, notwithstanding that they are infidels, frequently, and of their own accord, come to the church, bringing with them offerings, sometimes for our Saviour, and sometimes for his glorious Mother, to whom, in their need, they have recourse as their advocate with God, that, through her intercession, their prayers may be heard.
